Curious Acquaintanceships.
Fifty or more telegraph operators
were in attendance at the funeral ser
vices of the late George w. Gates at
White River Junction last Friday.
These men came from various stations
in New England and Eastern New
York included in the district over
which Mr.. Gates was for many years
superintendent. Many of them were
old acquaintances- and yet had never
seen each other or exchanged spoken
word. For years the usual greetings
of "Good morning." "GOOd evening""
GLOW do you do" ETC., etc., had been
exchanged between them over the
wires until they felt well acquainted
and in some instances had formed
warm friendships. Sad as was the oc-
casion that brought them together last
week there was good deal of curiOsi-
ty manifested among these old &C
quaintances who had never seen some
of their most intimate friends.

though some of those who were with

seemed to renew their youth to mar

timony was that they were enabled by
three or four hours work a week to
gain more than double that amount OF
time in their regular occupations, be-
sides "feeling just like work" all the
time. AS one of the gentlemen said
